Safety first :)

I went to to U Drift last night to test and tune the car, I am happy with the results and yet there are still more things to do.

I will be trying my best @ round 3 - lets have some fun

driftfcbuckey 07-28-11 03:07 PM

i dont want to see anymore of that spinning out shit this weekend.

Aaron needs to be killing it. Let's go battle some damn V8 240's.

backalleyracer 07-28-11 06:01 PM

I had like 2 spin outs - and one was a sick 360 :P

backalleyracer 08-01-11 06:50 AM

So round 3 of pro am's have come and gone.

I crashed pretty hard - I blacked out and went to hospital. I turned out ok, but I don't remember anything yet.

I laid down a nice conservative 1st run - and it landed me in first.

But after that, I remember talking in the pits, and then I don't remember anyting afterwards.

I did this though

http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...6_390501_n.jpg

So off to round 4 I go, I have another car and I will be swapping parts over. :nod:

everything is a learning experience :)

Oh - I also had the fastest entry speed - 82 mph

Digi7ech 08-01-11 02:33 PM

It was a pretty crazy crash.

I was out in the pits so I lost sight of you past the first turn.

You were hauling ass through it. Then we heard the thud. I guess one of my friends in the stands has video of it. Waiting on them to post it.

backalleyracer 08-01-11 04:17 PM

that would be awesome, I have not even seen it yet - I seriously do not remember what I did.

A lot of my friends were saying it had to be some mechanical failure because "I wouldn't do that" but I think they were just being nice.

when we were standing on grid it honestly looked like a brake line snapped we all saw your lights come on but nothing slow down/smoke/anything.

i was having the same issue with my brake booster vacuum line blowing off/brakes going stiff but i know when we messed with your spindles i wasnt there to check your hard lines going to the front calipers when you threw them on.....

before you pull parts lets check out the car. it might be repairable @ spring mountain auto body. if so it would be alot cheaper than building a new cage and if they get it back to 100% straight we can swap your red cars subframes into it, and make sure it's all straight. you could have a dedicated missile thrash car for the rest of the year.

backalleyracer 08-11-11 06:20 AM

I put my other shell together these past couple of days and me and buckey got it rolling.

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2670839_n.jpg

Now its off to th shop to get another roll cage done, but this time I am cutting out the doors and having my seat mounted lower - no more head crashes for me

backalleyracer 10-22-11 04:11 AM

not much to update - I have been in school this semester saving my money away from next season

its going to be ONNNNN !!!

My new car is still @ the shop and getting full treatment - roll cage, gutted doors, new seat mount, cutting up the front and overall awesomeness :)

driftfcbuckey 10-22-11 03:37 PM

signature. do it.

backalleyracer 10-22-11 03:52 PM

I did already

slowgxl 10-22-11 06:43 PM

damn dude glad your ok....crashing means your just learning how to drift, it happens.

backalleyracer 10-22-11 11:27 PM

Thanks man - I don't fully remember what happened, but I must have pushed to hard

backalleyracer 06-21-12 08:20 PM

This is what happens when you do work and don't take any pictures of it.

Everything gets transferred over and a new car looks clean.
